Chapter 100
When Isabe walked out of Shaffer Group Tower, the lingering thrill of having
been caught sitting in the president’s seat had yet to fade. She stood still for
a while, trying to shake off the sensation.
The Shaffer Family’s bodyguards were still present. This time, they insisted on
escorting her to thepany, iming it was to prevent any potential
threats from the biker gang.
Isabe rolled her eyes, instantly recognizing it as Seth’s doing.
She reluctantly got into the car. By the time she made it to thepany, a
crowd had gathered to watch the spectacle, just as she expected.
Even Alex, who was typically aloof, came over to gossip. She asked if she, as

the president’s wife, hade to experience ordinary life.

An exasperated Isabe replied, “If I were the president’s wife, I would have
long caused all sorts of trouble while living my life to the fullest. Why would I
even want to witness the mundane struggles of you mortals?”
Alex rolled her eyes and stomped away.
Abigail happened to be out discussing a contract, so Isabe took
advantage of the situation. She imed that herputer’s connection was
too slow and boldly used Abigail’sputer instead.
Everyone else in the office thought she was just picking a fight with Abigail.
Thus, no one suspected her true intentions.
She logged into an overseas email ount using Abigail’sputer and
Chapter 100 Walking A Tightrope
sent an anonymous meeting invitation to Lara.
She was certain that Selena would share the screenshot of the financial
report fromst time with Lara. Since Lara had suffered a considerable loss to
Isabe, the woman wouldn’t let go of her once she found the opportunity to
do so.
Isabe decisively cleared all browsing records after sending the email. Then,
she returned to her seat and patiently waited for the end of the workday.
She had to go home today and meet up with Louis.
She cked all afternoon and only picked up her bag to leave when the sun
began to set.
Jonas chased after her and repeatedly reminded her about the car

exhibition, s, Isabe was preupied with important matters, so she
merely gave him perfunctory responses.
It was already dark outside by the time she managed to get rid of Jonas and
take a cab home.
The security guard couldn’t resist striking up a conversation as he hadn’t
seen her for days. “Have you offended someone, Miss Symons? There have
been unfamiliar faces around your buildingtely. I suspect they’re here for
you,”
Isabe smiled, took out her phone, and sent a message to the person sent
by Natasha. Then, she continued to chat with the security guard casually.
“Why would I offend anyone? I have never been one for confrontation,” she
replied resolutely.

When the security guard saw that she was absolutely certain that those
unfamiliar individuals had nothing to do with her, he didn’t press further and
merely advised her to stay safe.
Isabe’s smile disappeared once she walked past the gate and into the
building. There wasn’t even a hint of emotion on her stoic face.
Her heart pounded like a drum as she gripped her phone tightly, not daring to
make a wrong move. Then, she followed the route she had set for herself.
There was a small garden downstairs, which would make a convenient
hiding spot. Since there were not many people around in the evening, no one
would find out if she was kidnapped unless she screamed for help at the top
of her lungs.
Isabe hesitated, showing a brief moment of indecision. The next second,

she took a deep breath and stepped into the garden.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from behind. Before Isabe had a chance to

Fortunately, she was prepared for this. She held her breath in advance,
causing her to inhale merely a minimal amount of the substance.
A group of men then dragged Isabe into a ck car and tossed her phone
away.

“Damn it! It took us a whole week to catch this woman!”

“Exactly! She’s as slippery as an eel. We can’t even catch a break!”
“She’s a dumb one. She won’t even know what we’ll do to herter!”
Isabe, who was bound hand and foot, curled up in a corner with disheveled
hair as she listened to the men speaking in vulgarnguage. Her heart raced,
but her mind remained clear.
This is all part of the n, and every step I took was right. Stay calm. There’s
no need to be afraid.
She tried to prepare herself mentally, anticipating each uing step.
The car left the residential area and headed toward Louis’ private vi.

After about 20 minutes, the car came to a stop, and the leading man carried
Isabe out.
She forced herself to feign unconsciousness, keeping her eyes closed. s,
the leader wasn’t a gentle person. As a result, she very nearly exposed herself
as she was tossed around like a sack of potatoes.
When she was lugged into the vi, the men respectfully knocked on Louis’
door.
The door swung open, and a sweet, fragrant scent greeted them. Isabe
wasn’t sure if there was something else in the fragrance. So, she dared not
take a deep breath.
“Mr. Kessler, we’ve brought her here.”

The sound of water came from the bathroom, and Louis replied to them in
Egatorian.
The man tossed Isabe onto the bed and sensibly left the room.
Isabe still wore sunsses and a mask so she could afford to open her
eyes to assess the surroundings.
She dared not think too much about her current situation. What if Louis didn’t
fall for her tricks? She could only force herself to stick to the n.

Isabe quickly closed her eyes. She could feel the man approaching as a

Louis had been eyeing her for more than two weeks now. Now, he finally had
her in his hands. He was so excited that he didn’t even bother drying his hair.
“You tricked mest time, little brat. Regardless, now that you’ve fallen into
my hands… I’ll definitely take good care of you.”
His tone was appalling, and his Corynthean pronunciation was unclear.
Isabe could feel his breath all over her face, which sent chills down her
